Unlocking Financial Freedom: Advanced Capital Gains Strategies with Brett Swarts on Bridging Success
In a recent episode of Bridging Success, host Bo Jakins sits down with Brett Swarts, Founder of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, to explore advanced strategies for deferring capital gains taxes and preserving wealth. Brett shares actionable insights on leveraging the Deferred Sales Trust (DST), integrating technology, and creating sustainable, passive income—making this episode essential for entrepreneurs, investors, and high-net-worth individuals seeking financial freedom.
Mastering Capital Gains: Strategies for Flexibility, Wealth Preservation, and Passive Income
Brett emphasizes that traditional tools like the 1031 exchange can limit flexibility and increase risk when selling highly appreciated assets. His approach focuses on the Deferred Sales Trust (DST), which allows sellers to receive payments over time, diversify investments, and maintain control over liquidity. By planning ahead, individuals can reduce exposure to market fluctuations and maximize wealth preservation.
Understanding the interaction between tax, cash, and debt flows is critical for making informed decisions. Brett reframes taxes as a resource that, when strategically managed, fuels further growth. By maintaining liquidity and reducing debt risk, investors can seize opportunities without jeopardizing financial stability.
Technology also plays a key role in modern wealth management. Brett leverages AI tools for client education, workflow automation, and financial planning, while emphasizing the importance of human oversight. Integrating multiple platforms ensures clear reporting, actionable insights, and optimized decision-making for clients and advisors alike.
